Trail Connections 8x10 oil framed

It was exciting to hear and now see the bike trails connecting across from Minnesota to Wisconsin. Thank you to all who put the effort in. I haven't gone the distance on my bike but had a chance to walk along parts. Really enjoy this bridge in the fall.

Seashells for CShore

Happy Birthday to Me!

I don’t mind finding my own presents. Art can be such a personal connection and when I see something I like I just gotta go for it.

On the Winona Art Walk in November, I saw Cathy Richardson Glass would have her new studio opened in the old Winona Knitting Mills. I had only known of her, through birding groups on line, for posting her outstanding bird photographs. Knowing the patience it takes to wait for those moments of capturing birds out in nature I could only imagine the focus she’d have for creating her art. I saw on facebook she has been a renown glass artist since the 1980’s.

To see in person her work featuring all sorts of techniques from lampwork and engraving to cameo pieces was a real treat in addition to meeting her and her husband in person.

Pictured is one of my new treasures that are some of her past works, you’ll have to see for yourself the new glass pieces. Check out Cathy Richardson Glass page on facebook

Excerpt from Winona Art Walk information.

She says-"My work is inspired by nature. I create glass environments that contain sea creatures, desert plants and animals, woodland and marsh environments, and assemblages of flowers, berries and fruit. I try to entice the viewer into my work so they see the many tiny flora and fauna that change as you turn the piece around in your hands."

Thankful for this Land-Happy Thanksgiving

To celebrate the holidays I want to share a collection of my paintings of Trempealeau National Wildlife Refuge in a book form. Twenty pages with over 40 images of my original oil paintings.

I decided to put this together after seeing a neighbors travel book. So impressed that you can have these produced and really liked the quality of the 8x10 hardcover book that lays flat for perfect viewing. No words, just pictures, you fill in the blanks.

If you are interested I will be putting an order together for this Sunday Art Day, November 26. You know the one between Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday.

To obtain one of your own email me at cshoreartwork@gmail.com. The cost is $50 which includes tax. Shipping directly to you would be extra. Hopefully I can connect with you if you're in the area for pickup and get all delivered before Christmas.

Thank you for viewing. Many of these paintings will be on display for their first time in January 2024 at the Blue Heron Coffee House in Winona and Pump House Regional Arts Center in La Crosse.
